Attendee Tastings

Although some stalls may provide complimentary tastings, we encourage you to plan how best to showcase your products to drive sales and remain competitive.

We highly encourage tasting stallholders to bring non-alcoholic options to the event, if available.
Non-alcoholic offerings were in high demand at the 2024 and 2025 events, and we anticipate the same for 2026.
Stallholders providing non-alcoholic tastings will receive special recognition on the event program and site map, highlighting non-alcoholic offerings to attendees.

Stall placements are offered on a first-apply, first-served basis, with applications assessed in October 2025 and finalised by November 2025. Applicants may request preferred stall locations from the event layout, with earlier applications receiving the greatest chance of their requested choice.
